I made my parents jealous with my weekend up on the border last weekend so they've taken off for there and I'm dog/housesitting for the weekend. I just rocked up with $9.95 for 24 nuggies to split with the doggo. Happy doggo.

Coming into the last two months of this project. Watching the "go-live" dates of different components getting nudged back and back. Six months ago, we were going to be in Production for everything by May 31 and have June for documentation etc.
We're now at the point where the last Prod deployment is June 21, and we get the last week of June for documentation. I half expect the go-live to be June 27, with one day for documentation at this point. Either that, or I'm going to be working the weekend of June 29/30.
Something about the whooshing sound of deadlines rushing by.

So, I'm coming out the other end of this sick, my lymph nodes don't hurt as much, and I feel a bit more clear headed. Helps that the cat let us sleep last night lol.
A few days ago, when it was bad and quite painful and I was having a weird lightness in my chest and kinda heart palpitations (the night I passed out), my partner kinda rolled his eyes and was a tad dismissive.
Well, guess who's in the throes of it now and just called to apologise profusely and unreservedly?
I just said "as an afab, it's par for the course to be disbelieved, but apology accepted haha." We laughed and it's fine, but man, I don't complain for attention, I'm just telling him my symptoms in case I need to be taken to the hospital and am incapable of advising the professionals of lead up symptoms.
I love him, but he is such a man sometimes lol
It’s Friday and I am very, very ready for the work day to be over. 7 minutes away from being half way through…
Nothing I have to do this weekend, except dinner with my sister tomorrow night. After over a month of moving, cleaning and just life in general, this feels WEIRD. I can’t wait!
I admit defeat. My head congestion is slowly clearing but I can't hold a thought in my head. Coffee helped for about 6 mins. I am going back to sleep
We spread mustard. We spread mayo. Why aren’t they in the “ spread” section?
We have breakfast spreads such Vegemite, peanut butter, honey, jam etc, which you will usually find around the breakfast cereal aisle.
Then we have non breakfast spreads such as mayo, mustard, sauce, pickles etc.
All are condiments but can be sub divided into breakfast and non breakfast.
The only exception is Maple syrup which can be found with the pancake mixes which is in the baking aisle. That needs to change.
Hot sauce is breakfast!
I believe the separation is based on the vinegar content. Sauces, pickles etc. all contain vinegar and are therefore separated from the less acidic spreads. Maple syrup is separated due to its excessive liquidity meaning it can only be poured, not spread.
This delineation seems to work a little better. It’s nearly perfect except for the mint jelly.

Maple syrup is a condiment. A breakfast condiment. It should be next to the honey where all the other breakfast condiments are.
If it wants to be with the other breakfast condiments it needs to thicken itself up.

But they’re all in the sauce section? Mayo is not a sauce.
It's a condiment. Sauce is a condiment. Mayo is a condiment. They do belong together.
Vegemite is a condiment though
Yes. Correct that is why they are placed with all the other breakfast condiments.
You mean “spreads”😂
I'm gonna hang up now.

I had to jump onto a win 10 machine for a couple of weeks. Came back to my new gaming rig and I have to say... I HATE windows 11. The right click menu sucks, the task bar is shit even if it is aligned to the correct location. Actually looking back, I think the last windows I liked was 7.
I still haven't used Windows 11. Given that I'm an IT nerd with 25+ years in the industry, and essentially live and breathe this stuff, it's a little remarkable. My computer's hardware doesn't officially support it, and while I've gone through the checks I need to disable in order to upgrade, I haven't seen what Windows 11 offers that makes me want to upgrade.
Other than turning the Start Bar into something more like the MacOS/Gnome dock, I haven't really seen anything the new version brings to the consumer. It's more of the same, but give us money please.

I swapped to Linux last year and haven't regretted it at all. I can even style it to look like my favourite older windows designs. My laptop has vista style desktop widgets, which are just as useless as they were back then but I love them.
This is the way 🙂

I love Win11. Whenever I go back to previous versions they feel clunky to me now. I prefer the center-aligned taskbar and I prefer the start menu now. Search is good enough that I never have to go into "All apps" aka the traditional start menu which lists everything. I just press the windows key and start typing what I want and hit enter. Usually that just means 1 or 2 letters of the app I want.

When I use 11 I feel like I'm using my left hand. That's the best way I can explain it.
YES!!!! That's exactly it isn't it! I just aligned the start to the left of the screen and my brain is just throwing co-ordination errors.

I'm a leftie and offended.
Believe it or not I can't use a mouse with my left hand.
I am ambi with a mouse after retraining myself from RSI. I get really shat at computer training rooms that have everything tied down to the right.
